Topic: Biden Doctrine

A historical review of the "Biden Doctrine," a 2006 proposal co-authored by Joe Biden and Leslie Gelb to decentralize Iraq into three semi-autonomous regions for Sunnis, Shiites, and Kurds. The analysis argues that the current instability is being used to finally implement this long-standing plan for the "Balkanization" of Iraq to secure oil interests.

Howard Dean discusses the "Biden Doctrine" for Iraq, explicitly referring to Kurdistan as a "real country." During the interview, Dean uses a mixed metaphor, comparing ISIS fighters to "Nazis" and calling them "subhuman," while advocating for a long-term policy of partitioning Iraq to protect Western interests.
